NAME
     mkpool - create a buffer pool

SYNOPSIS
     int mkpool(bufsiz, numbufs)
     int bufsiz;
     int numbufs;

DESCRIPTION
     _M_k_p_o_o_l creates a pool of _n_u_m_b_u_f_s buffers, each of size _b_u_f_-
     _s_i_z, and returns an integer identifying the pool.  If no
     more pools can be created, or if the arguments are
     incorrect, _m_k_p_o_o_l returns SYSERR.

     pools once they are no longer needed.
